Chick-fil-A's News

Opposition is building against Chick-fil-A's plans to open a new drive-thru restaurant in Mountain View.

A second appeal was filed Monday in the hopes of overturning a zoning administrator's July 11 decision to grant the embattled fast-food chain a series of permits for a location at 1962 El Camino Real.

Unlike the first appeal, Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's opposition to same-sex marriage didn't factor into the latest effort, said Bruce England, who submitted the paperwork on behalf of a group of sustainability-minded people who live and work in Mountain View.
England's group has been following the project since last fall and is primarily concerned about the impact of a new drive-thru on the city. The 4,200-square-foot eatery would replace a Sizzle

Chicago Cardinal Francis George stepped into the ring on the Chick-fil-A gay marriage controversy with a blog post criticizing Mayor Rahm Emanuel's statement that the fast-food chain's values "are not Chicago values."

"Recent comments by those who administer our city seem to assume that the city government can decide for everyone what are the 'values' that must be held by citizens of Chicago," George wrote on the Archdiocese of Chicago's blog Sunday. "I was born and raised here, and my understanding of being a Chicagoan never included submitting my value system to the government for approval. Must those whose personal values do not conform to those of the government of the day move from the city?"

Last week, Ald. Proco "Joe" Moreno, 1st, announced he will block Chick-fil-A's effort to build its second Chicago store in Logan Square because the chain's top executive has made clear his opposition to gay marriage.

Married of Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas!

Only three months after announcing their engagement, Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas have tied the knot.

The 30 Rock star, 54, and yoga instructor, who is at least 25 years his junior, wed on Saturday at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York, a friend of the couple's confirms to PEOPLE. 

The bride – who'll now take Baldwin's name – wore a silk magnolia trumpet Amsale gown with cap sleeves and a keyhole back neckline accented with crystal buttons.

Amsale also dressed Hilaria's mother and Baldwin's daughter Ireland. Baldwin had a tuxedo by Tom Ford.

Friend Matthew Hiltzik tells PEOPLE: "Hilaria Thomas and Alec Baldwin were married this evening at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York City with family and friends sharing in the joy of the occasion.

The Rev. George Deas performed the ceremony, which was conducted in English with readings in Spanish (the bride grew up mostly in Spain), and guests included Baldwin's costar Tina Fey and his brothers Stephen and Billy Baldwin.

Also attending were Woody Allen and wife Soon Yi, Mariska Hargitay, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels.

Miley Cyrus birthday party

Miley Cyrus puts 'dope-smoking' controversy behind her stealing the spotlight in plunging yellow gown.

Just over a week ago she was fighting off controversy after joking she was a 'stoner' at her birthday party.

But if Miley Cyrus was affected by the uproar surrounding her 'gag' about smoking marijuana, she managed to put on a brave front at a charity event in Los Angeles last night.

The Hannah Montana star, who recently turned 19, looked all grown up as she slipped into a daring yellow gown for the CNN Heroes Awards Ceremony.
